Bathroom Safety

3 Ways to Enhance Bathroom Safety

Bathrooms are meant to be a place of function and of escape. You should be able to feel comfortable in your bathroom, not afraid of slipping or getting in and out of the shower. However, the reality is that many people find the bathroom to be quite hazardous, especially if you’re prone to falling. Don’t let your bathroom cause you concern any longer. Instead, consider how NU Tub of Springfield, IL, can help you amp up your bathroom safety.

1. Grab bars

When you’re using the restroom or trying to get in and out of the bathtub, a grab bar can offer additional stability and support. You can easily add a grab bar or hand rail to any bathtub, shower, or toilet to give you an extra hand and peace of mind.

2. Shower seats

You want to enjoy your shower and take your time, instead of feeling like you have to rush due to unstable footing. A shower seat can allow you to do what you need to do, enjoy the warm water, and let you have some extra support while you shampoo and condition. Some shower seats can be placed temporarily while others can be made more permanent, depending on your needs.

3. Walk-in bathtubs

At NU Tub, one of our specialties (in addition to tub refinishing) is converting your bathtub to a walk-in bathtub. These bathtub-to- shower conversions are relatively simple and eliminate any barriers between you and the tub. We can customize the bathtub to your unique needs and preferences.

To find out more about our walk-in bathtubs, contact NU Tub today at (217) 522-1850. We serve homeowners in and around Springfield, Decatur, Bloomington, and Peoria. In addition to bathtub conversions, we also offer fiberglass repair and refinishing services for tubs, showers, countertops, and more.
